Let the race begin (2 more take out papers)

Yeah, and I’m sure the Chicken Little Select Board will point to this and say their 3-2 last-second Gerrymandering was worth it, because now we will have a more competitive election.

Obviously neither of these two new candidates (AARP demographic) served in the Iraq War; and the Select Board went out of their way to champion just such a candidate.

I also hear from reliable sources that Isaac BenEzra is trying to garner behind the scenes support for Ms. Awad’s seat as well. So I guess that premeditated attack on me a few weeks ago at the Select Board meeting was his campaign kick off.

Since Ms Awad installed him as the J. Edgar Hoover King of ACTV maybe he’s doing it out of loyalty to the X-Czar. Or maybe he just never met a soapbox he did not relish.

So, according to the Republican news article, Vladamir didn't know about the election until recently and he saw the date had been changed so he decided to run. If he can't keep up on local events like this why would anyone support him for Select Board. Not to mention he only has a 50% attendance rating for Town Meeting over all of his terms, and only around a 30% attendance record for the latest session of town meeting. Doesn't look like town government is something he pays attention to very much.

Mr. Kelley,I'm a Amherst native who has been out of the area for a time and now live in neighboring Hadley. Since my return, I've noticed many of your articles in the local papers (D.H. Gazette & Amherst Bulletin) are about anything and everything. It seems you're very passionate about the town polictical system. So much so you have this blog to back yourself up. I guess what I don't understand is why you don't run for the Amherst Select Board. As a town meeting member it looks like your "two cents worth" just doesn't travel very far unless you have a title. So maybe it's time for less talkin' and more walkin'! Could you or (anyone else) clairfy this for me.
